Sing. Worship. Belong. Consider Singing with the Church of Our Saviour Choir

The first choir rehearsal of this choir season is Thursday, September 4, from 7 to 9 pm in the Atwill Room.

Won’t you consider joining us this year?

Here’s what you can expect from singing with the Church of Our Saviour Choir:

• We rehearse a wide variety of music from many centuries, nations, and musical traditions.

• We encounter revelatory poetry and storytelling, and develop deep familiarity with the words of scripture, the liturgy, and hymns.

• We practice musicianship and music reading in a positive atmosphere rich with encouragement and laughter.

• We form bonds of friendship.

54 million Americans, one-sixth of our nation, will sing with a choir this week. Why?

Because singing in choir is good for you. Here’s what the research says:

Group singing releases endorphins and oxytocin, producing profound feelings of well-being. It improves immune response through increased oxygenation of the blood and heightened release of immunoglobulin A. It lowers the stress hormone cortisol. Singers spend more time volunteering than other people. https://www.singupfoundation.org/about-singing-for-mental-health/understanding-singing-for-mental-health/singing-health
